Bears listed as potential trade candidate for Tyreek Hill
The Chicago Bears are loaded at the wide receiver position with veterans D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze, along with rookie Luther Burden III. But that hasn't stopped some speculation about a potential trade for one of the best wideouts in the league.
There's been plenty of discussion about the Miami Dolphins trading away receiver Tyreek Hill -- with Dolphins GM Chris Grier not ruling it out back in April. With the June 1 deadline gone, it would make it a lot easier for Miami to get it done as far as spreading out the salary cap over the next two years.
Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio discussed some potential suitors for Hill, including the Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans, Los Angeles Chargers and San Francisco 49ers. Florio even mentioned the Bears as a potential suitor for Hill -- with the caveat of sending a veteran receiver back to Miami in the process.
The Bears also would be an intriguing option, especially with former Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy on the coaching staff. But they're currently loaded at receiver; it wouldn't work unless they'd send D.J. Moore to Miami as part of the trade.
It's a long shot, for the Bears or any other team. But all it takes is one team to convince itself that Hill can be the difference maker. The guy who can help a team that is close to the mountaintop finish the climb.
As Florio mentioned, Hill has ties to new Bears running backs coach Eric Bieniemy, who served as offensive coordinator during Hill's time with the Kansas City Chiefs. And the idea of Hill in head coach Ben Johnson's offense is certainly a tantalizing one.
While the Bears should always be looking to improve the roster, Hill doesn't feel like the best fit in Chicago. Hill, 31, is coming off one of his worst statistical seasons where he failed to eclipse 1,000 receiving yards (which he had done for four straight seasons). Plus, the Bears aren't in win-now mode heading into Year 1 of the Ben Johnson era.

While Chicago still has a long way to go, head coach Ben Johnson noted the offense has been improving since the start of the offseason program. Johnson also said "everyone was in the building" for mandatory minicamp, but there were a number of players sidelined due to injury. Bears media members in attendance have been sharing snippets from Tuesday's practice, which featured plenty of highlights of quarterbacks Caleb Williams, wide receivers DJ Moore and Rome Odunze and running back D'Andre Swift.

Report: Steelers not expected to trade for Dolphins Pro Bowler
Report: Steelers not expected to trade for Dolphins Pro Bowler Oh, what a difference a few days make for the Pittsburgh Steelers trade buzz. Previously, insider Adam Schefter set off a trade speculation frenzy in the Steel City — reporting that the Steelers and Dolphins had engaged in trade talks regarding Miami's Pro Bowl TE Jonnu Smith. Five days later, however, Schefter has taken a different tone on the matter. Packaged with Schefter's report on veteran WR Gabriel Davis visiting Pittsburgh, the long-time insider revealed that the Steelers were not expected to trade for Smith. Here's what he had to say on the situation: "Pittsburgh has been seeking additional receiving help and has inquired about, but is not expected to trade for, Miami TE Jonnu Smith." Insider Ian Rapoport had previously believed little would come of these trade talks — and one can't help but wonder if acquiring Smith would have made any difference for the already TE-sound Steelers offense.
